    RCMP charge fine options court coordinator on Saskatchewan reserve with fraud

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 12 Dec, 2014 10:29 AM

      BIG RIVER, Sask. — RCMP have charged a woman with more than 100 counts of fraud and forgery for allegedly running a court scam out of a reserve in northern Saskatchewan.

      Mounties say they began investigating the fine option co-ordinator in Big River First Nation in 2013, after receiving a complaint from the provincial court.

      Sgt. Lyle Korczak (CORE-zak) says officers interviewed many people who had been ordered to complete community service through the court's fine option program.

      He says there were pay-offs to get out of service work and false documents were filed with the court.

      Sylvia Grace Joseph faces 108 counts of forgery, fraud upon government, using a forged document and falsifying books and documents.

      Korczak says the woman was suspended from her job when the RCMP started its investigation.

      The 46-year-old is to appear in Big River provincial court Jan. 13.
